WHAT IS YOUR DREAM WHEN YOU GET OLD?

Perhaps very few people ask you this question. This question popped into Thương's mind while reading the book "One Hour of Gold After Waking Up."

Thương's dream when getting old is to travel with family. When stopping at a café, Thương would take out a book to read, savoring a good cup of coffee, surrounded by family. Through these trips, everyone would create more memories and connect with each other. Memories are the most precious thing in the world.

Let me share a memory about Thương's grandmother, who passed away nearly ten years ago. When Thương was little, on warm sunny days, she liked to sit in front of the door. She would comb Thương's hair with a fine-tooth comb, telling stories about Thương's father when he was young. It seemed like memories of her children were her treasures. Her teeth were black because in the old days, some elderly women dyed their teeth as a beauty practice. If an old woman passed by, she would ask her to buy some betel nuts for her to chew. The stories she told were very simple and intimate. She lived carefree until she passed away.

As Thương grew older, Thương realized that some people will live in your heart forever through memories. The body may disappear, but memories remain intact.

When Thương reads, Thương touches the memories and life experiences of the author. People we might never meet in life, but through books, it's like we're sitting down for hours chatting with them.

So, what is your dream when you get old?

Be a person with dreams so that every morning you wake up with more motivation to get up. Even though we know not everyone will reach old age, as long as we are alive, we have hope and the opportunity for a brighter tomorrow.
